Overview

I am a professional bodyworker, trained and certified in California, with 30 years’ experience.

Here in New York City, I am located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, very easy to get to. I do only in-calls, only in my own bodywork studio where I work safely in a clean, healthy, peaceful environment. A block from Stonewall, I welcome gay men to my clientele.

My specialty is relieving stress. I use slow, rhythmic strokes that soothe and calm, with focused ones that... reach into every fiber to dissolve tension. The pressure can be soothing or strong, even intense, depending on your preference. Most people like a firm, middle pressure which steadily relaxes them. If you come to me with muscle pain, I do deeper, assuaging work within your comfort range, sometimes involving Asian techniques.

My 90-minute Regular Session addresses the entire body, plus any issues. My 60-minute Focused Session concentrates on specific problems only.

You do not have to wear a mask during a session; however, I ALWAYS wear a mask, a 3MN95 as used in hospital ICU's, which protects us both. My studio is vented by true-HEPA air purifiers, as well as by a 100% air change between sessions. I have had all vaccinations as they become available, and I expect you have had them, too.

Testimonials

Gathered by Ted from admiring massage clients to share with you.

April 08, 2025 in New York, NY (in-studio)

I have been going to Ted for bodywork for over 30 years. From the moment I walked into Ted’s calm and beautifully put together West Village space I felt welcomed. Ted is about creating a peaceful environment, not only service.

Ted is intuitive, attentive, skilled and professional. He listens to what your body needs and tailors the session accordingly. Whether you’re dealing with stress, soreness, or just need a break from the city this is the perfect escape.

Ted gives an excellent massage. He is very intuitive. I have visited his studio a number of times and always feel renewed after an appointment with him.

I’ve been a longtime client of Ted, and wouldn’t have anyone else. If you have a specific ache or pain, he knows how to heal it. And when you get off the massage table, you can already feel the improvement. He makes you feel energized. He has a magic touch.

I have been receiving massages from Ted for 27 years. Clearly, I’m a very satisfied client. Ted’s studio is very quiet and clean. His expertise is evident right from the start. He takes the time to thoroughly discuss my preferences and any specific areas that require attention. His professionalism and ability to create a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere always put me at ease.

Ted’s technique is both therapeutic and soothing, allowing me to completely unwind and let go of stress. His skill, professionalism, and ability to create a customized massage experience make him a standout in his field. Highly recommended.
